MySQL user DB does not have password columns - Installing MySQL 

In MySQL 5.7, the password field in mysql.user table field was removed, now the field name is 'authentication_string'.

First choose the database:

mysql>use mysql;

And then show the tables:

mysql>show tables;

You will find the user table, now let's see its fields:

mysql> describe user;
